Ghost bikes mark the site of bicyclist fatalities across the country and around the world. They typically are erected anonymously and are spray-painted white. Some have plastic flowers and some have signs indicating the victim’s name. Some even have a photograph or other information about the victim who has died there. There are about a dozen known ghost bikes around the Twin Cities. Governmental authorities often remove memorials that are on right-of-way property. More photos will be added as they become available.
